   DANIEL W. RAY, of Marco, Ind., is a native of Shelby County, Ind., where he
was born August 5, 1846. His parents, Jesse and M. (Allison) Ray, were among the
pioneers of that county, and bore a family of eight children. Daniel W. Ray
received a common school education, and afterward studied medicine with Dr.
Piatt, of Shelbyville, but this he abandoned for other business until 1869, when
he began the study of telegraphy in the same town. On September 9, 1870, he took
charge of the railroad business at Marco, and since that time has filled that
position. Miss Anna B. Ferguson, of Greene County, became his wife January 26,
1874, and by her he is the father of three children—Minnie B., Jesse O. and
Pearl, and all living but the first, For about one year, Mr. Ray was in the
general merchandise business at Marco, Ind., in company with Mr. Isaac Weaver.
For thirteen years, he has not missed a day from his office as agent of the
Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad, a record unsurpassed by any. He is a member
of both the Subordinate Lodge and Encampment in the fraternity of Odd Fellows,
in which order he has been Noble Grand. As a Democrat, he takes a lively
interest in the politics of his community.
